You sound fat

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

Re: former fandom BNF

No, I was actually pretty young at the time, younger than a lot of the BNFs I was hanging with who were in their late 20s and even 30s. IIRC the fics I wrote started getting traction when I was about 18 and I think I was only about 19-20 when I bailed. Most of it's long since taken down so I can't even check dates now. It all happened when I was in college and I was living on campus without a car so I really didn't have a way of meeting up with anyone and then by the time I graduated and had a car, I already had backed away from it all.

That was another thing that made it all so surreal. I was actually fairly young, closer to the age of a lot of the teen fans in our little crossover fandom than the ages of my fellow BNFs, and these people throwing tantrums were close to 10 years my senior, if not older. I think one of them was even 40 so she was twice my age.

That was part of why I felt like I couldn't handle it. I just wasn't emotionally equipped to navigate everything at that age.
